Ocean View Hotels in Fujian, China

First off, the hotel's location is fantastic. It's right next to Zhongshan Road and within walking distance to Bashi Market, making it super lively at night with tons of food options. Secondly, getting around is a breeze. There's a bus stop right outside, making public transport very convenient. Plus, there's a ferry terminal directly across the street. If you're coming back from Gulangyu, you can take a bus from Sanqiuming Pier to this ferry terminal, cross the road, and you're pretty much at the hotel – no need for a taxi or another bus! Finally, the security is top-notch. You need to swipe your card twice to enter: once to take the elevator to your floor to find your room, and then again to get into your room. This is the first hotel I've stayed at with this kind of system, and it really made me feel safe and secure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this boutique hotel as it was very closed ZhongShanLu (2min walk!) with all the food and shops all around. It's also perfectly situated between the harbors for traveling to Gulangyu Island. The lobby is decked in space theme, while the room was tropical themed. We loved that the room was uniquely formatted as well and different from the typical large hotels. We didn't get to use the tub but it was also unique in that it was an oval, almost like a bird's nest (hotel name: ”bird island”). Our seaview room had direct view of the Gulangyu Island and their Organ Museum. Gulangyu lit up at night and watching the ferries go by was very relaxing. The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming, helping with laundry and filling our water bottles with ice. This hotel definitely meets the ”boutique” standard in being unique in their own way and having such an amazing view. There is no gym for anyone looking to work out after eating too many skewers or sacha mian, but one can run along the harbors for a good work out!

We had a lovely stay, the room’s view was great, bed very comfortable, nice cotton good quality lienen, flexible room service time, water/towels etc always topped up/ refilled. Free luggage storage possible. All really smooth and pleasant. Keep in mind that if you choose smart room- need to say the commands to open the curtains in Chinese. I speak some Chinese and it made the check-in and stay easier, however the person who showed us the room wasn’t very friendly.

Facilities: The apartment is well-equipped, and the bathroom has a separate wet and dry area. Cleanliness: The room was clean and hygienic, with no strange odors. Environment: The apartment is very close to the airport, just a few minutes' drive away. Taxis are also very convenient, and there's a shopping mall nearby, so food and drinks are easily accessible. Service: The service was excellent, and the airport pick-up service was great; just contact the owner in advance. They also responded promptly to any issues. The room was very spacious and offered great value for money.

Traveling with a child, they managed to combine the twin beds and upgraded our room type. It was spacious enough for three of us, and we had a very comfortable sleep. The little courtyard by the pool on the first floor was a relaxing spot for a cup of tea. Our child absolutely loved the outdoor pool. We spent most of the first day at the hotel, with adults relaxing and the child having a blast. It was great. There's a small gate from the hotel leading to an underpass, and then you're right at the beach. It's super convenient for watching the sunrise, though unfortunately, it was too cloudy for us that day. The hotel's decor seems quite old; some of the floor tiles and other fixtures show wear and tear, so it's good to manage expectations. However, I highly recommend this for a family trip to Xiamen.

I was looking forward to this hotel after seeing the pictures and reviews on trip.com, but it left a lot to be desired. -They don’t provide large towels by default. I assumed they forgot my towels, then when I asked they brought me a set but showed me the disposable ones that were sitting in the room. I couldn’t believe they offer the tiniest, thinnest packets and think that’s an acceptable replacement for normal towels. At this price point, that shouldn’t be a reality anywhere in the world— after countless dozens of hotels I’ve stayed at in China that’s the first time I’ve witnessed such a thing. -They leave the toilet scrubber in the bathroom too, which I also never saw after countless hotels in China; clearly that’s an antiquated practice and doesn’t inspire confidence in the cleanliness of a room. Cleaning tools like that shouldn’t be stored in the guest rooms. -The city view was okay but the window was filthy -The room is no-smoking but they leave an ash tray My booked room says the 20th floor— when I arrived, I lugged my heavy bags to the 20th floor, but they immediately redirected me; we went back down, exited the building to another one nearby, then they checked me into an old room on a 10th floor. I didn’t understand why they did this (that room reeked of smoke too), then we packed everything up and went right back to the original building, to the 20th floor like I booked. Clearly that could have been avoided if they communicated to me the reason for the switch (they said afterwards they were upgrading me to a bigger room? But it was nearly the same size and the 10th floor one was just older, smellier and clearly a downgrade. Odd decision on their part). I’m not sure if this hotel does the delivery robot like most others, I doubt it. Luckily I came to town a day early, so the extra day I booked allowed me to see the condition of the hotel and I was able to cancel the rest of the stay I had booked— but for a fee of over 500rmb. The vast majority of Chinese hotels on this site offer free cancellations but this one was costly. I switched immediately to a brand hotel to be safe— there are countless other options in Xiamen at similar prices, I’d have to recommend looking elsewhere.

Honestly, during the off-season, for a room type like this at just over 150 (CNY), staying on the 60th floor is incredibly good value for money. The room itself is quite spacious. I actually booked this place after reading a review, and honestly, I think it's perfectly fine. I dislike situations where customers are clearly in the wrong or leave bad reviews unfairly, and then the boss blames and scolds the staff. I don't like that. So, sometimes when guests are being unreasonable or trying to take advantage, whether it's a staff member or the owner responding, I think it's perfectly acceptable. A spade is a spade.

Hotel location is particularly good, travel and eating are very convenient. The room was clean and tidy, the sanitation was in place, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the sleep was particularly stable. The front desk service was warm and thoughtful, the check-in and check-out were very fast, and the staff were very good. The price is very high, the overall experience is particularly satisfactory, and I will choose this one next time.

What touched me most about this stay was what happened after I checked out. I was already at the airport, about to check in, when I suddenly received a call from the hotel's Assistant Lobby Manager, asking if I had left anything in the room safe. It was then that it hit me – my most important documents and belongings were still in there! While I was incredibly anxious, the Assistant Lobby Manager didn't hesitate for a second. She immediately and decisively arranged for a driver to take my items from the hotel to the airport. In the end, I safely and smoothly retrieved everything without any delay to my travel plans. My heartfelt thanks go out to the hotel's Assistant Lobby Manager and the staff for their attentiveness, honesty, and professionalism. Their proactive and responsible attitude, and their willingness to go above and beyond for guests, has truly changed my perception of your hotel's service. You not only helped me avoid a loss but also made me feel truly 'at home.' I will definitely choose this hotel again next time and recommend it to all my friends!

What a waste of a good location, the service was absolutely disgusting, I'm never coming back! I was traveling with my child and had a reservation. We arrived at 1:30 PM, only to be told there were no rooms available and we had to wait. Fine, I'll wait. But when I asked when a room would be ready, they said they didn't know, just 'before 3 PM,' with a totally impatient attitude. Finally, at 3:26 PM, they told me a room was ready... Okay, I swallowed that. But then they insisted I provide my infant child's household registration or ID? My kid has been on planes and high-speed trains without needing an ID, why is it different here? I even endured that. The worst part was the staff member's even more atrocious attitude. She threatened me, saying if I didn't show the child's ID, she'd call the duty manager!! Are you kidding me? Am I here to be threatened by you? I've stayed in 95% of five-star hotels all over the world, and none of them have such unique requirements. If your rules are different, can't you just explain it properly? Why threaten guests???? Why don't you just call the police and accuse me of child trafficking??? What a joke!!!!!!!!!!
